That's an artefact of Red Hat and SUSE support licensing, though. Are you able to purchase the Dell box without an operating system at all? If so, you could then run a non-supported Linux of your choice (obviously) or pick something like Oracle Linux which provides both the binary installation media and all errata for free. You then have the option to pay for support later, if required.
Yes you can purchase Dell systems without an OS, I did that. From what you say it seems that Oracle charges just for support while Red Hat and Suse charge binary license fees. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
